Costa Dorada

Costa Dorada at a Glance

Visit Costa Dorada

Behind the sandy shores of the Costa Dorada, there is a world of contrasts, where the ancient and traditional Spain rubs shoulders with irreverent and quirky Catalonia. You can fill up on fresh air and spectacular mountains or wetland scenery, then head into the heart of the city and admire the diverse architecture and art. If you like peace and quiet, there are Cambril’s endless beaches and the Monastery of Escaladei, or if you’re looking for thrills and spills, head for the aqua and adventure parks near Salou. Enjoy summer evenings with classical music on the breeze or dress to impress and join the party in Sitges. There’s plenty of great food to discover and fine wines to sample along the way. There’s always something new to enjoy on this golden coast.

Feel Costa Dorada

Feel the buzz of Barcelona and Sitges, and the peace of the mountains and golden beaches. Admire the creativity of the architecture or the exhibits in the galleries and museums. Step back into ancient Rome or look into the quirkier future of Casa Milà. Dive into the clear warm waters of the Mediterranean or plunge down the highest waterslide that you dare. Savour a full bodied red wine or the tickle of the bubbles in a chilled cava, and look forward to the surprises that tomorrow will bring.

Taste Costa Dorada

As you can imagine, there’s plenty of tasty seafood on the menu on the Costa Dorada, including Zarzuela, the local fish stew with plenty of herbs spices and sherry or fried and grilled fish straight from the Mediterranean. If you don’t want to commit to just one dish, you can work your way through the tapas menu; delicious mouthfuls of meat, fish and vegetables cooked in a myriad different ways. There’s no way you’ll be able to try them all! There are plenty of local wines to try too, or why not visit one of the lively xampanyerias, where you can order a bocadilla (sandwich) accompanied by a glass or two of local cava?
